A loss Sunday would give Houston its fifth 14-loss season by the Texans or Oilers.
— means Houston’s eternally suffering fans will have been made to endure the fifth 14-loss season by their hometown NFL teams. The Oilers finished 2-14 in 1983 and 1994. The Texans were 2-14 in 2005 and again in 2013.is because the NFL didn’t expand to a 16-game schedule until 1978.
But are they the dregs, truly the worst of the worst? Is it fair to say things, NFL-wise, are as bad as they’ve ever been? In a word, no. A history lesson follows. The next season brought only more of the same. Peterson’s personal oh-fer streak reached 16 before general manager Sid Gillman had seen enough, showing Coach Pete the door and taking charge himself. But even the future Hall of Famer Gillman, who had won an AFL championship in San Diego, went 1-8. Like the 2022 Texans, the 1973 Oilers also failed to win at home. They were outscored by a league-worst 17.7 points per game, losing eight times by at least 20.
